The new Aerospace and Defence Tool Box from Microlease streamlines access to specially selected sets of equipment and test gear, to minimise risks for manufacturers on long term projects and to help them respond quickly to win market opportunities.

The Tool Box is configured by specialists experienced in working with aerospace and defence manufacturers, and support roles across the spectrum of activities including producing, commissioning or repairing equipment such as radar, microwave communication, mobile radio, satellite testing and electronic security systems. They can offer a time-saving and cost-effective solution, particularly for projects (or programs) needing specialised, high-performance tools for time limited needs, which can last from a few months to multiple years.

The wide range of equipment available includes analysers, signal generators and other instruments that are proven and popular within aerospace and defence industries. The rich selection also includes highly regarded power supplies, noise generators, oscilloscopes, multimeters, data-acquisition instruments, counters, semiconductor parametric analysers, impedance analysers, function/pulse generators, logic analysers, and environmental test equipment.

“Manufacturers typically have to manage their cost of test across peaks and troughs to deliver within agreed timeframes” said George Acris, Marketing Director, Microlease. “Our new Aerospace and Defence Tool Box, configured by our in-house technical experts, simplifies procurement of the right equipment, and can satisfy time-limited requirements for periods of a few months up to multiple years, cost-effectively and with full support. These are high-quality, reliable tools, fully maintained and calibrated, delivered quickly, enabling our customers to complete time-critical projects with cost control and flexibility to adapt during the project.”

The new Aerospace and Defence Tool Box extends Microlease’s successful concept, which gathers all the equipment engineers need to meet the demands of specific industries into a single, comprehensive package. Alternative Tool Box options currently available from the company support the automotive, semiconductor and railway industries, and more Tool Boxes for other sectors will be introduced in the future.
